I had 6 chemical pregnancies and an ectopic. I've been to many doctors and they found several reasons why I could have had so many losses, but don't really know exactly which one "caused" them. I have hypothyroidism (Hashi's), low progesterone, PCOS, and MTHFR gene mutation. I'm being treated for all with injections and many many pills.

I'm currently only 5 weeks and 2 days, but so far this is the furthest I've ever made it (except my ectopic, but my hCG is higher now than it was with that even at 8 weeks).

Are you currently being seen by an RE? How far were you with your losses? Have you been tested?

With my first pregnancy I had a miscarriage at 6 almost 7 weeks. My second had an ectopic at 6-7 weeks and this time I had another miscarriage at 4-5 weeks. I havnt been to an RE, what is that? I am going to my ob on Thursday hoping they will run some tests

An RE (reproductive endocrinologist) is a reproductive endocrinologist. Most OBs don't know what kind of tests to run for repeat pregnancy loss, and can actually be kind of clueless when it comes to certain conditions. You can ask your OB to recommend one to you and they'll be much more likely to run the correct tests to help you sustain a pregnancy. Also, being Rh - doesn't have anything to due with early miscarriages. I'm Rh - and will have to be closely monitored, but it doesn't effect the baby until much later in pregnancy. Yes, it does have to do with blood type, and being sensitized if your blood mixed with the blood of a previous baby (during birth, miscarriage, etc.).

My first pregnancy was a molar pregnancy and then I had two chemical pregnancies. All the tests at the endo and ob have said everything looks fine so I've never received any explanation. It's been tough for me, emotionally, physically, just so many levels of difficulties.
